JUDGE FAULKNER'S ELECTION,

The news of Judge Faulkner's
election to the q. s. Senate was
hailed by his many friends in this
end OF the State as choice well
merited. The City Band rendered
him a serenade last Thursday night,
and many citizens called to tender
their congratulations.
AS we gave a fair sketch of his
life in THE HERALD not long ago,
further particulars in that direction
are unnecessary. He is well known
here, the place of his birth. His
record on the Bench is generally and
highly approved. He is young, ex-
perienced in legal and public affairs,
honest, able, studious and indus
trious. He has grand future be-
fore him, and opportunities that fall
not to the lot of the generality OF
men. Politically, much will be said
of bis standing. He is wise in not
committing himself. He will make
bis record as he runs his race, and
by that alone is it fair to judge him.
The people, as well as his party, ex-
pect liberal share of his services,
and we are free to say they will not
be disappointed.

A PROMISING STATESMAN.

Agreeable to expectation, Geo. M.
Bowers, the young delegate from
Berkeley, discharged the duties en-.
trusted to him faithfully and con-
scientiously. He was elected in this
county by majority that older and
more prominent men seldom receive.
He is man of sound common sense.
active and energetic, we'll off in
means and business qualifications,
and the Republicans of this end of
the State entertain great hopes in
his future usefulness. The Republi.
cans of West Va. can build upon
him with perfect safety. Unpresum-
ing in manner or appearance, his
honesty, ability and personal inde-
pendence recommend him to the
confidence Of the people. There is
no allurement of money or station,-
no inducement by which men might
be approached, that could turn his
support from the best interests of
the tax-paying and laboring people
of this State. Such MEN are wanted
in public lite,-they are NEEDED.

A Mothers Love Illustrated.

Ours is always a wonderful baby.
confess to sensation of chagrin when a
young mother does not confess this d.
rectly or indirectly. In some one partic-
ular, if not in all, he resembles no other
child ever born, and surpasses the rest Of
the infant creation.
Many years ago witnessed an illustra-
ton of this vicarious vanity that shocked
my girlish sense of fitness, but which /
recall now with reverence. A neighbours
child was, as the old wives insisted,
marked by snake on which the
mother trod in the garden one day be-
fore it was born. The recollection of
the deformed baby lent an awful
fascination to "Elsie Werner when /
read it twenty years afterward. She was
an idiot girl, and had never walked when
she died at the age of 6. Her skin was
covered with scales, her head was fiat,
her eyes were narrow and black. Chanc-
ing to call at the house one day, / saw
the poor little thing-usually screened
from curious eyes-ron and wiggle across
the floor to the mothers feet, and grasp
ing her dress, laugh up in her face. Such
laugh! The cleft tongue shot out with
hiss; the forehead receded entirely
under the low forelock; the eyes cleaned
the whole effect was indiscribably re-
voting. And the mother, handsome
woman in her prime, caught up the ami
mate horror, covered her with kisses, and
called her the "dearest, loveliest rose bud
ever made"-Marion Harland in Inter
Ocean.

Something New in Clocka.

A self winding clock is one Of the
novelties in this market. One would
naturally think that self winding clock
would come pretty near to a solution of
the problem of perpetual motion, but it
doesn't. The self winding clock may be
locked up and left untouched for more
than a year, and it will run right along
without appreciable variation, and, it's
said, keep better time than common
clock that is often regulated" In the
self winder the winding is performed
every hour by an electric battery con-
cealed within the case, and it is reason
ably claimed that this frequent and auto
matte action averts overwinding and
running down, evils which are largely
responsible for the variations of ordinary
timepieces. Self winding clocks cost all
the way from $27.50 to $3.50.
The inventor of this clock says he can
connect by wire all the clocks in the
stations on a railway between New York
and Chicago, or between any other cities,
so that simple touch on an electrical
instrument in one city will set all the
clocks to the same time, without a
seconds difference being left between
any two of them. If this fertile in
ventor will now devise some means of
keeping the watches carried by engineers
and conductors of freight trains always
within two or three seconds of true time
he will confer a still further blessing
upon his railway collision abhorring
fellow men.-Chicago Herald.

To a person who watches closely

To q person who watches closely
the political changes and events of
parties and individuals In town.
county and state, the fnlsome hc-
sannas of some men are the surest
evidences Of the fickleness of human
tides, whether of incoming hope and
JOY or outgoing sorrow and sympa-
thy. Like at Eastertide, when we
look down the long line OF palm
branch wavers and glorifiery, the
thought forces itself upon the mind
that we have seen these jubilations
before, and that not all who cry
" Lord, Lord, follow in the narrow
way. Oftentimes the poor and for
gotten out-cast in the penitent's
corner is more sincere in mind and
heart, though he utters no word and
moves not a hand. Many who
shout "hurrah for Smith" to-day
will cry "down with Smithism :" to-
morrow.-And no one knows better
than public men how true this is in
politics,

The London Old LADY.

came away from the great city with
the feeling that this most complex pro-
duct of civilization was nowhere else de-
veloped in such perfection. The octo-
genarian Londoness has been in society
let us say the highest society-all her
days. She is as tough as an old macaw.
or she would not have lasted so long. She
has seen and talked with all the celebri-
ties of three generations, all the beauties
of at least half dozen decades. Her
wits have been kept bright by constant
use, and as she is free of speech it re-
quires some courage to face her. Yet
nobody can be more agreeable, even to
young persons, than one of these precious
old dowagers. A great beauty is almost
certainly thinking how she looks when
one is talking with her; an authoress is
waiting to have one praise her book; but
a grand old lady, who loves London So
ciety, who lives in it, who understands
young people and all sorts of people, with
her high colored recollections of the past
and her grand maternal interests in the
new generation, is the best of compan-
ions, especially over a cup of tea Just
strong enough to stir up her talking
ganglions. - DR.. Holmes In Atlantic
